Judaism, specifically the Orthodox denomination, answers metaphysical questions in a way that is internally coherent. In Orthodox Jewish understanding, there exists a world of ultimate reality that we don't live in, and there is something special about humanity; that we are the connection between the two worlds of reality, and that connection defines how everything exists and what the meaning of life truly is. From a surface level perspective, this is almost entirely unscientific and should stay within the realm of pseudoscience, where it can be ignored by the general populace. However, in-depth studying of the internally coherent logic unveils a striking similarity between the logic within Judaism and modern scientific understanding. Since a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, the argument that Judaism is inherent in modern science must support the least-scientific aspect of Judaism: Jewish Mysticism.
Though a careful analysis of Kabbalistic understanding, Tokayer attempts to marry Judaism to String Theory. It should be noted that very few individuals study both Kabbalah and String Theory, but the success of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement spread Kabbalistic knowledge around the world, easing access to Kabbalistic work. Through years of learning with Chabad families and over a decade of dedicated interest in physics, Tokayer cultivated an understanding of Jewish Mysticism and String Theory such that his explanation of it should work for those unfamiliar:
String Theory is the modern pinnacle of physics. Since it is incredibly complex, in order to develop an understanding, we must first understand the basics: why we have String Theory and what generally makes it work. Then, we learn about concepts that are different from our normal understanding of physics. Only then can we learn the nature of String Theory, slowly moving into more difficult subsections that are increasingly math-intensive.
Within Judaism's rationalist framework, there's a clear distinction between priorities, whether they be rituals or prayers. This important argument fostered a logical understanding of Jewish principles, nurturing the development of scientific reasoning, especially after the denominational split between Orthodox & Reform. Interestingly, Hasidism (a denomination of Orthodox Judaism), despite its limited scientific knowledge, echoes certain modern scientific consensus views through its various additions to Judaic practices. As a whole, Judaism emphasizes the concept of everything being interconnected within one divine entity, highlighting the fundamental nature of our connection to it. By applying mathematical axioms rooted in Orthodox Jewish principles, we can observe how the logical structure of Judaism aligns with modern mathematical logic and the overall connection between the two fields.
These two theories of everything are the same. From the simple, conceptual parallels, we can understand the fascinating overlap. Studying the correlation is a necessary first step to understand the underlying fundamental connection. We prove this connection through the logic and reason in both of these seemingly-unrelated fields.
